Welding Tips and Tricks

Got a hold of a roll, thought it would be interesting to try it out. Don't know on what though

Hastelloy=$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Just out of curiosity how did you get a hold of a roll of Hastelloy-C? Usually only used in chem plants with corrosive processes stainless steel won't handle.

Just noticed it is X not C, has hi temp properties as well as superior corrosion resistance.

Easy: Ebay

So, for filler wire of this caliber, naturally I had to wait until a very sensitive weld procedure called for it. Something with insanely strict and specific procedures to properly utilize it's extreme corrosion and heat resistance.












































Turns out I hated having to reach for a socket when I want to switch polarities from MIG w/ 70S-6 to Flux-core on my Millermatic 211. It has two small flanged nuts that are recessed into small plastic "pockets", so you have to reach for a socket.


So I TIG'd some wingnuts onto the back of the stock nuts. With Hastelloy-X.

Incredibly precise jigs/fixturing to hold tight tolerances.



Puddle flows nice and smooth, reminds me of 304L. Now I can switch polarities quicker. I don't have a rotary positioner to chuck these up in, so bear with me.


Here they are installed and tightened.



The End.

Well..wheres the WPS

Sweet find, that's an expensive roll of wire
